OMAHA, Neb. - The Creighton men's soccer team held its
postseason awards banquet Saturday night, handing out individual honors
following the Bluejays' successful 2012 season. Members of the team and staff
were joined by soccer supporters at the Old Mattress Factory for the banquet.

Creighton finished last season with a 17-4-3 mark and its
second consecutive appearance in a College Cup last December. CU won the
Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) regular-season and tournament titles for a
second straight season. Along the way the Bluejays tied the MVC team record for
the fewest goals allowed (one) in a Valley season set by CU in 2011.

In 2012, the Bluejays advanced to the College Cup in
consecutive seasons for the first time in program history and recorded their
fifth College Cup appearance all-time (1996, 2000, 2002, 2011 and 2012). CU
entered the 2012 College Cup on a 14-match unbeaten streak before falling 1-0
to eventual national champion Indiana in a national semifinal.

In January's MLS Supplemental Draft, Toronto FC selected Gomez in the second round with
the 38th pick overall and the New York Red Bulls claimed Ribeiro at the 70th
selection overall in the fourth round. It marks the first draft selection of a
Creighton player by each MLS squad.

As a result, Creighton remains the only soccer program in
the nation to have at least one player drafted (supplemental draft included)
into MLS since the league began in 1996. With two players taken this year,
31 Bluejays have been drafted by MLS.

Here are the five individual awards handed out at Saturday's
team banquet:
